How often should I have my soft furnishings cleaned?
Most manufacturers recommend the wet extraction method as the best way to clean your carpets and upholstery, this should be done every 12 months to 18 months. Regular vacuuming with an upright cleaner is recommended weekly.
I’ve had other companies quote and it’s cheaper than yours, why is this?
Unfortunately, not all cleaning companies are the same, simply we all do things differently. We follow strict procedures for every job and as our reputation matters to us we do our utmost to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. Our prices are based on the workmanship and quality we put into every job and the customer service you receive. We have invested in training, and insurance and have some of the most powerful and up-to-date equipment within Shropshire. There are some companies who don’t bother with any of the above, they are simply as the saying goes “splash and dash” companies. If you have a problem after they’ve ruined your carpets, many won’t return back leaving you to pick up the bill.

What about stains?
carpets go through a rough time, so it’s pretty common to get the odd spot and stain on a carpet. Spots or unknown marks are usually where dirt has been attracted to something stick or residual, these are usually simple to remove. Staining where colour has been added to the carpet can be much harder to remove. It’s important to understand that whilst we have removed countless stains before there’s never a guarantee that the stain can be removed. Sometimes removal may cause bleaching of the carpet fibre. We always recommend not using under the sink products on stains as these can “lock in” the stain with a permanent effect. Check out our page on DIY stain removal.
My carpet after it was last cleaned become dirty quickly, why?
If you previously had a carpet cleaned, either using hire equipment or using another company and it has become dirty much quicker than expected this is down to residues from cleaning detergents being left in the carpet. The residues from cleaning weren’t rinsed out of the carpet thus attracting dirt. For more information on this check out our page on DIY carpet cleaning. JL carpet cleaning uses free rinsing Eco-friendly products, these break the bond between dirt and fibre allowing them to be rinsed away with water, leaving your carpet healthy, fresh and most importantly dirt free
What areas do you cover?
We offer our services to areas covering Telford & Wrekin, Shrewsbury and other surrounding areas in Shropshire. Please note some areas do incur travel charges outside of our local radius.
Quoting over the phone?
Though we appreciate you may need a quote over the phone, for comparison etc. It is very hard for us to give prices over the phone so please don’t be offended. It is sometimes possible to give you an estimate based on your room sizes. We prefer to come and give you a free home survey/quotation. As you’d appreciate all houses are different, some rooms may have heavy soiling, and some light. therefore our pricing reflects the work required to clean your carpets to the best of our abilities
